Assigns a GitHub issue to the Copilot coding agent, optionally specifying a custom agent. Use this when asked to assign an issue to Copilot or delegate an issue to CCA.

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 3 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 3

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use the assign.sh script in this skill's directory to assign a GitHub issue to the Copilot coding agent (CCA).

    line 8
  2. Distinctive:

    Run the script with the following arguments:

    line 12
  3. Very specific:

    Before assigning, you can check which custom agents are available by looking at .github/agents/ in the repository.

    line 37
  4. Very specific:

    If a custom agent is specified, it uses the REST API to set the agent_assignment field.

    line 49

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 308,232 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Assign Issue to Copilot Coding Agent

Use the assign.sh script in this skill's directory to assign a GitHub issue to the Copilot coding agent (CCA).

Usage

Run the script with the following arguments:

bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh <issue-number> [custom-agent-name]
  • issue-number (required): The GitHub issue number to assign.
  • custom-agent-name (optional): The name of a custom agent to use (e.g., deskocat, electron-upgrader).

Examples

Assign issue #42 to Copilot with the default agent:

bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh 42

Assign issue #42 to Copilot with a specific custom agent:

bash <skill-directory>/assign.sh 42 deskocat

Available Custom Agents

Before assigning, you can check which custom agents are available by looking at .github/agents/ in the repository. Each .agent.md file defines a custom agent.

Requirements

  • The gh CLI must be installed and authenticated.
  • The current directory must be inside a GitHub repository.
  • Copilot coding agent must be enabled for the repository.

Behavior

  1. The script detects the repository owner and name from the current git remote.
  2. It assigns the issue to @copilot using the GitHub CLI.
  3. If a custom agent is specified, it uses the REST API to set the agent_assignment field.
  4. It prints a link to the issue so you can follow progress.

    How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.
